Bristol Twp. cousins jailed for knife-point 7-Eleven robberies

Tuesday

A pair of cousins, who terrified Bristol Township convenience store clerks by pulling off two knife-point robberies in one evening, have been sent to a state prison.

Derrick “Boo-Boo” Carroll and Kevin “Man-Man” Fant, both 21, pleaded guilty Monday in Bucks County Court in Doylestown to robbery and related charges.

Carroll was sentenced by county Judge Rea Boylan to 1˝ to three years in a state prison. Fant, who wielded the knife during both crimes, received a two- to four-year state prison term from county Judge Wallace Bateman.

The robberies occurred just 20 minutes apart at two 7-Eleven stores, on Veterans Highway and Bristol Pike, on March 27. In both cases, the cousins entered the store wearing masks and hooded sweatshirts and demanded money.

Fant held the knife close to the clerks’ bodies and ordered them to move quickly, said deputy district attorney Christopher Rees.
